11-26-13 fox lake garage fire

Firefighters battled a garage fire early Sunday morning in Fox Lake.  Fire Chief Bill Frank says at about 4:15 a.m., the Fox Lake Fire Department was dispatched to N10542 Howard Avenue, which is owned by Tim Dugan of Shorewood.  Frank says the rear wall of the single car garage was fully engulfed in flames, and the fire was under control within minutes. There were no injuries.  The building had severe damage to the rear wall and roof rafters, but most of the major contents of the garage, including a boat, lawn tractor, and motor scooter were saved.  Frank says the cause of the fire appears to be electrical.  Fox Lake was assisted by the Randolph Fire Department, Alliant Energy and the Dodge County Sheriff’s Department.
